I might stop supporting Greenpeace petitions etc. I do NOT appreciate the phone calls afterwards and have asked repeatedly not to be called. I do like what Greenpeace do, just not when they are calling me in the evening.

My RSB submission is very very very short and maybe a bit simple. I just really wanted to say that I OPPOSE it.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

The idea that neoliberalism delivers freedom for people is wrong. Where is the freedom in not being able to swim in a river because neoliberal policies let a dairy companies fill it with shit? Sure it’s freedom for dairy company owners to get rich trashing the place, but no freedom for people.

Anyone get frustrated with Guyon Espiner’s interview with Chloe today? He seemed to be missing the point so often and twisting her answers. And seeming a bit ‘dim’ in his feigned confusion. 🤷🏼‍♀️

The employment contracts act in early 90s that undermined collective contracts & stopped people talking about their pay to other people changed so many things and is coming home to roost 30-40 years later. Individual contracts where you had to negotiate individually was the beginning of the rot. IMO

The govt. started the pay equity process in APRIL 2024. Cabinet signed it off TWO MONTHS ago. The govt. didn't conduct any regulatory impact assessment & redacted human rights impacts, leaving Kiwis in the dark, while pushing it through under urgency. This abuse of power is chilling. #nzpol
